I already have a dpr 404 bought it yrs ago & it's in great condition i fancied another for my p.a but they seem pretty rare these days can't find a decent one anywhere Anyone have one of these lying around gathering dust :tongue:

It's only the round bits of plastic that sit in the fronts of the knobs that are missing. Normally fairly easy to find replacement knobs, or very similar looking knobs. It obviously works, so no electronics to repair. You'll only need to get a suitable nut-driver to remove the existing knobs. BSS are still going, so send an email to them and you may even get some replacement caps or knobs from them - or at least they could recommend suitable replacements.

I have no idea whether it's a good price or not though. Is that around what you'd expect to pay?

Cheers i'll email Bssaudio see if they have the replacement caps,i reckon they are around £300 in good condition the one i have is mint but i didn't realise they were so rare these days until i wanted one
